Niagara's
Ancient Cemetery of Giants

I respected the spelling used in the text.
Fredenburg is first used and later it is spelled "Fredinburg." The site was
about 40 miles west of Niagara Falls, according to recent maps;
Dunnville is at the mouth of the Grand River which flows into Lake Erie. A "Six
Nations First Nation Territory" is along the Grand River today, but I
cannot say if the site was in it, or out of it. More information is needed to flesh out any veracity to this story, which 21st Century readers
may take with a grain of salt.

Headlines: "A REMARKABLE SIGHT-- Two
hundred skeletons of ANAKIN [sic] in Cayuga Township; A singular discovery by a
Torontonian and others -- A vast Golgotha opened to view -- Some
remains of the 'Giants that were in those days.' From our own correspondents."

Cayuga, August 21-- "On Wednesday last, Rev.
Nathaniel Wardell, Messers. Orin Wardell (of Toronto), and Daniel Fredenburg,
were digging on the farm of the latter gentleman, which is on the banks
of the Grand River, in the township of Cayuga. When they got to five or
six feet below the surface, a strange sight met them. Piled in layers, one upon
top of the other, some two hundred skeletons of human beings nearly
perfect -- around the neck of each one being a string of beads.

"There
were also deposited in this pit a number of axes and skimmers made of stone. In
the jaws of several of the skeletons were large stone pipes -- one of
which Mr. O. Wardell took with him to Toronto a day or two after this Golgotha
was unearthed.

"These skeletons are those of men of gigantic stature,
some of them measuring nine feet, very few of them being less than seven feet. Some of the thigh bones were found to be at least a foot longer than
those at present known, and one of the skulls {Skullcaps, or incomplete skulls opened at the base, obviously} being examined completely
covered the head of an ordinary person. These skeletons are supposed to belong
to those of a race of people anterior to the Indians."Some
three years ago, the bones of a mastodon were found embedded in the earth about
six miles from this spot. The pit and its ghastly occupants are now
open to the view of any who may wish to make a visit there."

Later:
Dunnville, August 22, "There is not the slightest doubt that the remains of a
lost city are on this farm. At various times within the past years, the
remains of mud houses with their chimneys had been found: and there are dozens
of pits of a similar kind to that just unearthed, though much smaller,
in the place which has been discovered before, though the fact has not been made
public hitherto. The remains of a blacksmith's [Metalworker's?]shop, containing two
tons of charcoal and various implements, were turned up a few months
ago."The farm, which consists of 150 acres, has been cultivated for
nearly a century, and was covered with a thick growth of pine, so that
it must have been ages ago since the remains were deposited there. The skulls of
the skeletons are of an enormous size and all manner of shapes, about
half as large again as are now to be seen. The teeth in most of them are still
in almost perfect state of preservation, though they soon fall out when
exposed to the air.

"It is supposed that there is gold or silver in large
quantities to be found in the premises, as mineral [dowsing] rods have invariably, when
tested, pointed to a certain spot and a few yards from where the last
batch of skeletons was found directly under the apple tree. Some large
shells, supposed to have been used for holding water, which were also found in
the pit, were almost petrified [This has got to be a mistake. Shells are already "Petrified" as in "Mineralized"]. There is no doubt that were a scheme of
exploration carried on thoroughly the result would be highly interesting. A good
deal of excitement exists in the neighborhood, and many visitors call
at the farm daily.

"The skulls and bones of the giants are fast
disappearing, being taken away by curiosity hunters. It is the intention of Mr.
Fredinburg to cover the pit up very soon. The pit is ghastly in the
extreme. The farm is skirted on the north by the Grand River. The pit
is close to the banks, but marks are there to show where the gold or silver
treasure is supposed to be under. From the appearance of the skulls, it
would seem that their possessors died a violent death, as many of them were
broken and dented.

"The axes are shaped like tomahawks, small, but keen,
instruments. The beads are all of stone and of all sizes and shapes. The pipes are not unlike in shape the cutty pipe, and several of them are
engraved with dogs' heads. They have not lost their virtue for smoking.
Some people profess to believe that the locality of Fredinburg farm was formally
an Indian burial place, but the enormous stature of the skeletons and
the fact that pine trees of centuries growth covered the spot goes far to
disprove this idea."

Daily Telegraph (Toronto, Ontario), Wednesday, August 23, 1871, page
1Reprinted with permissionOHIOReference: greatserpentmound.orgOur related science's present
understanding of the pre-Adena (Archaic) inhabitants of the greater Ohio River
valley is yet somewhat sketchy, what to say of the Adena themselves.
However, many pieces to the puzzle are now thought to be in place. The timeline for the Adena begins around 1000 B.C.E. according to the carbon
dating of Dragoo and others. The Archaic populace is not believed to
have constructed mounds in the Ohio Valley region, although this is not known
for certain due to several factors, including widespread destruction of
the earthworks, without content cataloging, over the last 250 years. Most
understanding is based upon the dating and trait-grouping of materials
found in the diminished number of mounds and village sites yet existing after a formal discipline in archaeology and anthropology finally took over
excavation and detailed record keeping.

There are Archaic era mounded
structures, often intricate and complex, in the deep southern U.S., including
Watson Brake, Poverty Point, Fig Island, and Sapelo. For this reason,
theories have been put forth that the moundbuilding tradition came into the Ohio Valley around the time of the Adena from the southern Mississippi,
thereby tentatively associating the Adena people with older cultures
from the south. In one way of looking at this idea, it supposes that
moundbuilding was a phenomenon peculiar to only one geographical
source, necessarily having been passed on. Unlike the Adena mounds however, the
more ancient southern earthworks did not poignantly suggest a very
specialized "cult of the dead."

By their skeletal remains in the earlier
studies, the pre-Adena people were known to have had slender or thin bodies, and
been "long-headed," with "narrow" skulls (dolichocranic), i.e., having
a breadth of skull small in proportion to length from front to back. The Adena people weren't physically akin to these Archaic people. Generally
the Adena had more massive bone structure, according to these same
studies. The pre-eminent theory of Adena origin at the time was that their
ancestry had come from Mexico or even further south. However, the Adena
body bone structure type was unusually difficult to trace with surety south of
the Rio Grande where another distinguishing Adena-resonant trait was
found practiced from earlier times. That practice was "cradleboard"
head
deformation.

The
internet site of radio talk show host Jeff Rense
(http://www.rense.coin/general15/hiss.htm ) has unearthed a mysterious, unexplained, but very provocative clipping from the August 5, 1947 edition
of the San Diego Union. According to the clipping, explorers had
unearthed, near the Arizona-Nevada-California line, the mummified remains of
strangely costumed giants which the discoverers dated to around 80,000
years ago.[8000 is probably meant]

The Union reported that a Howard E. Hill of Los Angeles was
recounting the work of Dr. F. Bruce Russell, a retired Cincinnati physician who had originally located the first of several tunnels near
Death Valley in 1931, but had not been able to return to the area until
1947. With the help of Dr. Daniel S. Bovee, who with Hill's father had once
helped open up New Mexico's cliff dwellings, Russell had recovered the
remains of several men of 8 to 9 feet in height.

"These giants," said
Hill, "are clothed in garments consisting of a medium length jacket and trouser
extending slightly below the knees. The texture of the material is said
to resemble gray dyed sheepskin, but obviously it was taken from an animal
unknown today."

Hill also said, according to the Union, that in
another cavern was found the ritual hall of the ancient people, together with
devices and markings similar to those now used by the Masonic order. In
a long tunnel were well-preserved remains of animals, including elephants and tigers. So far, Hill added, no women have been
found.

He said the explorers believe that what they found was the burial
place of the tribe's hierarchy. Hieroglyphics, he added, bear a resemblance to what is known of those from the lost continent of Atlantis.
They are chiseled, he added, on carefully polished granite. [this sounds like a hoax]TRACE OF GIANTS
FOUND IN DESERT [the same story told over again]LOS ANGELES, Aug 4.
(AP)-- A retired Ohio doctor has discovered relics of an ancient civilization,
whose men were 8 or 9 feet tall in the Colorado desert near the
Arizona-Nevada-California line, an associate said today.

Howard E. Hill.
of Los Angeles speaking before the Transportation Club, disclosed that several
well-preserved mummies were taken yesterday from caverns in an area
roughly 180 miles square, extending through much of southern Nevada from Death
Valley, Calif. across the Colorado River into Arizona.

Hill said
the discoverer is Dr. F. Bruce Russell, retired Cincinnati physician, who
stumbled on the first of several tunnels in 1931, soon after coming
West and deciding to try mining for his health.

MUMMIES FOUND

Not
until this year, however, did Dr. Russell go into the situation thoroughly, Hill
told the luncheon. With Dr. Daniel S. Bovee, of Los Angeles -- who with
his father helped open up New Mexico's cliff dwellings -- Dr. Russell has found
mummified remains together with implements of the civilization, which
Dr. Bovee had tentatively placed at about 80,000 years old.

"These giants
are clothed in garments consisting of a medium length jacket and trouser
extending slightly below the knees." said Hill. "The texture of the
material is said to resemble gray dyed sheepskin, but obviously it was taken
from an animal unknown today."

MARKINGS DISCOVERED

Hill
said that in another cavern was found the ritual hall of the ancient people,
together with devices and markings similar to those now used by the
Masonic order. In a long tunnel were well-preserved remains of animals including
elephants and tigers. So far, Hill added, no women have been
found.

He said the explorers believe that what they found was the burial
place of the tribe's hierarchy. Hieroglyphics, he added, bear a resemblance to what is known of those from the lost continent of Atlantis.
They are chiseled, he added, on carefully-polished granite.

He
said Dr. Viola V. Pettit, of London, who made excavations around Petra, on the
Arabian desert, soon will begin an inspection of the
remains.

New Orleans (AP) -- Three
young archaelogists came to Northern Arizona and crept through sacred rooms,
over rocky precipes and by dangerous rattlesnakes to discover a huge
complex of catagombs that could rewrite theories about the Indians of the southwestern United States.

"It's absolutely mind-numbing. We would
have never believed it could have existed," John W. Hohman, one of the three archaeologists, said Friday during the meeting of the 2,000 member Society
of American Archaeology. "It will change a lot of what we believed
about Indians in the Southwest. They may have been far more advanced than we
believed."

Hohman admitted to feeling a bit like Indiana Jones, the
archaeologists-adventurer from the movies. Armed with a flashlight and a pistol, it was Hohman who rapelled down the steep fissures, frequently
dotted with rattlesnakes sunning themselves on rocky outcrops, into the
catacombs.

The catacombs his expedition found are the first reported in
the United States, officials at the conference said. "It's very exciting to have it announced at this conference. It's one of the few times we can say
this is a first. Anytime you have a first in our business, it's
exciting," said Dr.James Schoenwetter, professor of anthropology at Arizona
State University in Tempe, Ariz. "The idea of a very elaborate form of
ceremonial chamber being built underground hundreds of years ago is
surprising."

Indians of the southwest United States were not believed to
have built underground, Hohman said. For many of the cultures the underground held special connotations, both good and bad, he said. Burials
were also done much as they are done now, he said, in graves dug into
the earth. The catacombs, which Hohman and colleagues say are about 700 to 800
years old, were discovered at a known prehistoric Indian settlement
about two miles west of Springerville.The Mongollon Indians occupied the
site sometime between A.D. 1250 and 1400, Hohman said. "There had been some
suspicion that there was something underground there," Adams said,
"When we actually entered the catacombs though, it just blew us away."

Getting there wasn't easy. "Everytime I'd get halfway down
one of the others would find the entry way, Hohman said. The carefully hidden entrances to the catacombs varied from the size of doorways to small
crawl spaces. Once inside, Hohman and his colleagues found three to
four acres of catacombs, ranging from small chambers to huge rooms 50 feet high
and 100 feet long. "It's obvious that they were to protect the
cattacombs," said White. ""The average person living at the site would not have
had access to the area. It was probably entered only by certain
people."

Hohman, Diane E. White and Christopher D. Adams were
investigating the area for the town with an eye toward developing it as a recreation area. Hohman expects the site to produce at least one more major
find. "We think there is something else underground there. We're
working in an area that we think will produce another major surprise," he
said.

The area, but not the catacombs, is open to the public, and will be
developed into a recreational area, Hohman said. The park is expected
to be opened within two years, he said. Called Casa Malpais, the site represents
one of the largest and most complex ancient Mongollon communities in
the nation, Hohman said.

CALIFORNIALovelock, Nevada, is about eighty
miles northeast of Reno. in 1911, in a cave near Lovelock, Nevada guano miners
found mummies, bones, and artifacts belonging to a very tall people -
with red hair.

ThelPaiutes had legends about the "Si-Te-Cah." According
to them the redheads were a warlike people, and a number of the Indian
tribes joined together in a long war against them. Eventually, the Paiutes and
their allies forced the Si-Te-Cah back to their home acres, near Mount
Shasta in California.

Archeologists seemed to take a negative
approach to this 'history changing' discovery. . According to reports, two
archeologists were sent to the scene to investigate this remarkable
discovery. . One was from the University of California, and the other from New York. Rather than unearthing facts, they seemed more interested in
burying them - literally; we are told the New Yorker ordered a mummy
reburied on at least once occasion. Nor was anything published about the
anomalies until 1929, seventeen years after their visit.

Paiutes
says that the Si-Te-Cah literally lived on a lake in the basin overlooked by the
cave. The lived on the lake to avoice harrassments from the Indians,
living on the rafts made of a fibrous water plant called tule. The name
Si-Te-Cah means "tule eaters."

The Paiutes and the long-legged
redheads did not get along well. The Indians accused the Si-Te-Cah of being
cannibals, and waged war against them. The Si-Te-Cah fought back. After
a long struggle, a coalition of tribes trapped the remaining Si-Te-Cah in what is now called Lovelock Cave. When they refused to come out, the
Indians piled brush before the cave mouth and set it aflame. The
Si-Te-Cah were annihilated.

The local Indians tell stories of how the
tribe exterminated those that had reddish hair.All of this could be
dismissed as another tall tale, but the case for the Si-Te-Cah does not rest on
one man's research, or on remains found in one guano-filled cave. In
1931, mummies wee discovered in the Humboldt Lake bed. Eight years later, a
mystery skeleton was unearthed on a ranch in the region. In each case,
the skeletons or mummies were exceptionally tall and appeared to be
connected with the strange lost race of redheads.

According to the
Indians, the Si-Te-Cah built a pyramidal stone structure in New York Canyon,
some miles away in Churchill County. Unfortunately, the area is riven
with earthquakes and the rocky ruins have largely tumbled over the
years.

Not much has survived from the Si-Te-Cah. When the archeological
establishment refused to take their existence seriously, a number of
small, private museums arose to fill the gap. A fire in one of these destroyed
an irreplaceable collection of bones, mummified remains, feathered
artifacts, and shells carved with mysterious symbols. Today there is a museum in
Lovelock with a display describing the cave finds, but it ignores
allegations that the Si-Te-Cah were anything other than Indians. The Nevada State Historical Society has some artifacts from the cave, but again, there
is not even a hint of ontroversy.NEVADA

A Nevadan who died more than 10,000
years ago is at the center of a battle over who will control the ancient history
of North America.In about a month, the Bureau of Land Management is
expected to decide if a partially mummified skeleton will be given to Indians
for secret burial or if scientists can retain the 10,630-year-old
remains called Spirit Cave Man for further scientific testing.The
conflict already has fallout. Some of the scientists closest to the issue
refused to discuss the strained relations with Indian tribes. State
officials last year pressured one Worldwide Web page creator to erase links
pertaining to ancient human remains found in Nevada. The state museum
this year agreed not to display busts created by a Reno artist that may show
what two ancient Nevadans looked like.

In a two-day series,
reporter Frank Mullen explores this controversial issue whose outcome may very
well change the history of this continent. Part 1

VirginiaAncient European Skeleton Recovered
In West Virginia Cave

Cave Skeleton is European, 1,300 Years Old, Man
Says

Sept. 29, 2002

MORGANTOWN - The man who first advanced the
theory that markingscarved on in a Wyoming County cave are actually characters from an ancient Irish alphabet has found human remains at the
site, which tests indicate are European in origin and date back to A.D.
710, he maintains.

Robert Pyle of Morgantown says that a DNA analysis of
material from the skeleton's teeth roots was conducted by Brigham Young University. That analysis, he says, shows that the skeleton's DNA, when
compared to samples from Native American groups and an array of
European sources, most closely matches samples from the British
Isles.

Pyle says the DNA test, plus a radiocarbon test that dates the
skeleton to 710, suggest the presence of a European visitor to the North American continent nearly 800 years before the arrival of Columbus,
and nearly 300 years before Viking Leif Erickson.[This is not too entirely unusual in that there are several sites with purported "European" affiliations in various parts of Eastern North America dating to supposedly about 800 AD, at the very beginning of the Viking age, and the date is in a sort of a cultural vaccuum after the Hopewell period otherwise-DD]

With all of the finds reported in the news papers between 1850 and 1950, many of them say that they were sent directly to the Smithsonian for national study. Occasional Hoaxes and exaggerations aside, these credible finds associated with credible institutions demand further investigation. I once amiled Doug Ousely at the Smithsonian, asking if they had any giants in their collection. He said the tallest skeleton he knew about was 6 ft 3.

lol There were news paper reports of skeletons with 25 inch femurs taken out of mounds in Florida and Ohio in the 1930's, sent to Smithsonian. I mean, did they all just disappear? What's your take on the allegations of cover-up Mr. Drinnon?

There are many hundreds of reports of these large skeletons all over North America, not including Europe, where bones of such appreciable size made the press on a routine basis. Giant of Castelnau is one of the more fantastic reports, with at least a shred of decent documentation. Whatever the case ultimately is, there are still reports in the foreign press of skeletons of 7 and 8 foot + giants found in places like Geogria and Italy, and Briton.

The Smithsonian is playing a game called "Belittlin". Records on the books can easily have a foot knocked off at the stroke of a pen and then the mistaken figure stands until somebody actually takes the time and bother to say that the new record is wrong. I would say that there is substantial allusion in the literature to skeletons regularly reaching a live height of 6 foot 6 inches to seven feet or more, and if Doug Ousely can so easily overlook that much, well the situation is pretty much hopeless. in the early days of this country live "Aboriginals" were regularly credited with heights in that range, and some larger: the CroMagnons of Europe and the Canary Islanders were regularly said to have individuals in that range. And many mound skeletons also, none of which I have any reason to doubt.

Om top of all that we have plenty of newspaper stories from 17th century London and Samuel Peps Diary about an Irish Giant that nicely fits the mold. I suspect that the genetic code is still out there and will pop up again even if the population itself is not intact.
